i have this black crap on some of my rims i think tar and its really hard to get off. just wondering if there is anything really good to clean rims.

 

every few months I'll take my rims off 1 at a time, spray it down with rims cleaner and scrub it with a rim brush and the cracks and tight spots with an old tooth brush then rinse em and dry them off then wax the rims and they look cherry for a few months with normal cleanings and also that tar crap comes off alot easier with the wax on the rims, this is for painted rims though, i have 2002 ss 10 spokes. dont know what u got?

 

i just have the stock 95 5 star rims. i tried scrubing this black crap off and alot wont come off lol.

 

Get some wheel cleaner and spray it on the wheel. Let the spray sit for a little bit. Then try to wipe it away. If that doesn't work try some Bug & Tar remover. Wipe that on, and wipe it off.

 

You could also try spraying on Purple Muscle or Simple Green and then hosing it off the wheels with a pressure washer at the car wash.

 

Try bug and tar remover.

 

try to clay bar it. if its chrome, try to stay away from from chrome cleaner sprays, they're so acidic. put a coat of wax on them to make it easier to clean in the future.
